Why...

[damnit458]

In the eyes of the general public motorcycles are recreation. Why would you need several? People are caught in thinking that material things are an indication of how much money you have. But in actaulity it is money you had. Unless you are flipping bikes then this doesn't apply. Are you saving for a downpayment on a house, or saving for something in general?

In regards to rj's point it doesn't really matter whether motorcycles are an indication of money you CAN spend or DID spend. Eitherway (the thought process is) you had the surplus of money to have bought multiple motorcycles, which many people don't have, which equates to you being well off.

Honestly though my thoughts on this are similar to whoever (im lazy ) posted that people overestimate the cost of a motorcycle. Most people are very surprised that you can get a perfectly functioning motorcycle for so cheap (especially when you don't care if it is initially functioning as most of you all don't :wink: ).

For example, at the point that I am at right now in life (senior in college) I could viably own multiple motorcycles solely supported by the bullshit job that I have here (or even the jobs I get over the summer in NoVA). If I were paying for school this would obviously be different, but a lot of people here don't pay as well, so I feel like my situation is somewhat common.
